2010: One of the top producers in Canon-Fronsac this estate's 36-acre vineyard was cropped at 20 hectoliters per hectare in 2010 (a blend of 95% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Malbec) and hit 14.5% natural alcohol. Stephane Derenoncourt consults at this property. The beautiful 2010 boasts an opaque purple color the unmistakable chalky minerality that comes from these limestone soils mulberry and blueberry fruit a full-bodied mouthfeel and stunning concentration as well as depth. There is some serious tannin lurking under the extravagant fruit meaning this cuvee is capable of lasting 15-20 years. It is a sleeper of the vintage.
